Spring
Loaded: A Message from the Editor top
of page | cover page
Welcome
back to the pages of Pezhead Monthly. We are once
again ready to rock and roll with the power of Pez.
Speaking
of rock and roll, you may not know that the King of Rock
n' Roll, Elvis Presley, now officially graces a Pez dispenser.
But indeed he has, and we celebrate this wondrous occasion
in this month's feature. Also in this issue is an interview
with the Pezheads the Movie Pez Dispenser, which is an exclusive
Pez dispenser available only with purchase of the Pezheads
The Movie DVD. Congratulations and thanks to Chris and
everyone at PTM for a great documentary about Pezheads and
a fantastic dispenser too. Also in this issue is some Pez
Poetry and another Pez Almost-Quote, and finally a note
about the scary image that graces the cover of this month's
issue.
I
am also pleased to officially announce a call for submissions
for the 2007 Pez Poetry Slam,
happening exclusively on the pages of the December 2007
Pezhead Monthly. Submissions are due by Friday, November
30. Details can be found here.
Submit your Pez poems today!
Take
care and see you next month!

Elvis
Pez Has (Officially) Entered The Building top

A
few months ago, a very magical event happened in the
world of Pez. Now I'll grant you, a convincing argument
can be made that anytime a new dispenser is released,
it is a very magical event in the world of Pez. But
this one was simply magicaler than all the rest. I am
speaking of course about the release of the Elvis
Presley Collector's Tin, featuring 3 different Elvis
Pez dispensers, one from the 50s, one from the 60s,
and one from the 70s. This marked a historic moment
in the world of Pez (and Elvis) fans worldwide. I am
sure you saw the story on the evening news, or heard
the primetime speech from the President, marking the
grand occasion. What's that, you didn't? Well, have
no fear. Pezhead Monthly is giving you a firsthand
look at this awesome collector's set. |
Astute
readers of Pezhead Monthly may recall that this is
not the first time that Elvis Pez has graced the pages of
this publication. In November
2001, we imagined what life would have been like had
the real Elvis Presley been a Pez dispenser. Then in August
2002, after scoring a fantasy
Pez dispenser at Pezamania 12, I presented an ode to
my quest in the form of the poem "Finding
Elvis." And of course there is the now legendary
Elvis Pez being chased by
Cowboy Pez.
But
this special collector's set is still a very huge deal.
Why? Because this is the first time that Pez has made an
official dispenser of the King of Rock and Roll. And three
versions of the Elvis Pez dispenser on top of that? Words
cannot express the joy this has brought me.
To celebrate
this grand event, I am proud to present some songs from
three dispensers who clearly have a hunka hunka burning
love for Pez.

Heartbreak
Pez Shelf
(To the tune of "Heartbreak Hotel")
Copyright 2007 JoePez Publications
Well
since that lady bought me,
I've been all by myself
She left me all alone here on
The Heartbreak Pez shelf
She
won't even load me, baby
She won't even load me
She won't even load me
That ain't right.
Not
a single Pez beside me,
Not a Snoopy or a Shrek
It's just me on this dusty shelf,
And baby, I'm a wreck
She
won't even load me, baby
She won't even load me
She won't even load me
That ain't right.
Yeah,
the lamp don't ever turn on,
The door is always closed
She doesn't show me to her friends,
Oh man, that hurts the most
She
won't even load me, baby
She won't even load me
She won't even load me
That ain't right.
So
if you're on a store rack,
Take good care of yourself
You might end up like me here on
A Heartbreak Pez shelf
She
won't even load me, baby
She won't even load me
She won't even load me
That ain't right.

I Can't Help Dispensing Pez For You
(To the tune of "I Can't Help Falling In Love
With You")
Coopyright 2007 JoePez Publications
Wise
men say: one Pez at a time
But I can't help dispensing Pez for you
It's cliché, maybe it's a crime,
But I can't help dispensing Pez for you.
Like
a candy brick makes a special treat,
Darling, have a flick
Sometimes life is too sweet
Take my Pez, take the whole roll too
For I can't help dispensing Pez for you.

Viva Pez Oh Yes
(To the tune of "Viva Las Vegas")
Copyright 2007 JoePez Publications
Bright
colored stems gonna make me want
Gonna make me wanna collect
Got a big long list of dispensers to get,
So I hope there's a lot to select
There's
a drug store open all around the clock,
I'm gonna put on my shoes and go for a walk
And when I find some Pez, man it's going to rock
Viva Pez Oh Yes, Viva Pez Oh Yes
How
I wish that there were more
Than just twelve candies in a roll
Cause even if there were fifty more
It wouldn't satisfy my soul
Oh,
there's bagged Pez and loose Pez and Pez on card
Find 'em ev'rywhere, boy, it's not that hard,
And when you get a new one, please give my regards
Viva Pez Oh Yes, Viva Pez Oh Yes
Viva
Pez Oh Yes with your wicked dispensin'
And your many conventions,
All those vintage Pez on display
Viva Pez Oh Yes, fillin' shelves with your treasure,
Givin' such endless pleasure
If you pick up one
Then you're gonna have a mighty fine day
I'm
gonna keep hittin' stores,
I'm gonna keep gettin' more
Till I run out of room at my place
If I have to move, well
I'll always remember to find them lots of space
I've
got 'em lined up, in row after row,
Much more than I had, just a year ago,
And will I ever stop, well the answer is no
Viva Pez Oh Yes, Viva Pez Oh Yes
Viva, Viva Pez Oh Yes!

Bein' Mint On Card
(To the tune of "Suspicious Minds")
Copyright 2007 JoePez Publications
I'm
caught on a card,
My life is hard
Because I want to be free baby.
Why
can't you tear
This plastic so unfair
And let me stand in your display?
I
can't go on forever
Bein' mint on card
And I can't be filled with Pez
Bein' mint on card
So
if my value falls,
Would you be so appalled
And have regrets about my freedom?
Here
we go again,
Looks like I just can't win.
You can't hear the screams are real, I'm crying
I
can't go on forever
Bein' mint on card
And I can't push the Pez out
Bein' mint on card
Oh,
let the blister pack
Be taken off of its back
Let's don't cause a world of stress
When honey, you know
I'll dispense Pez for you
Mmm, yeah yeah
I'm
caught on a card,
My life is hard
Because I want to be free baby.
Why
can't you tear
This plastic so unfair
And let me stand in your display?
I'm
caught on a card,
My life is hard
Because I want to be free baby.

On the Pez Shelf
(To the tune of "In the Ghetto")
Copyright 2007 JoePez Publications
A
collector smiles
In a nice suburban neighborhood
Another Pez dispenser is stood
On the Pez shelf
Yes it's been a while
And if there's one thing to be enjoyed
It's another brand new piece of joy
On the Pez shelf
People,
don't you understand
Your Pez needs a place to stand
A box in a closet simply will not do.
Put it out on display,
Don't you wait another day
Just think about the pain you'd feel
If that Pez was you.
As
the time moves on
And his Pez gets dusty and makes him sneeze,
With a massive gust of man-made breeze
On the Pez shelf
And they tumble down
They're close together one and all,
And like dominoes, they each do fall
Off the Pez shelf
Then one night in the pitch black dark
He steps on one poor Pez
He flips the light, he says "Oh crap"
But it's too late, its neck is snapped
A
collector cries
And in tears he heads out for the store,
Cause he knows he needs to put one more
On the Pez shelf
And he finds a prize
In a nice suburban neighborhood
Another Pez dispenser is stood
On the Pez shelf
